PHONE'S RINGING -- IT'S URBAN ON THE LINE
•Football Schedule•Basketball Schedule•Forum•About•ContactI've noticed a LOT of "down" votes on Eagle_Eye's comments... Is there an organized conspiracy going on, or is it a difference of opinion, or is it simply the bad grammar?
He's at -52...
Most of the comments that were down voted seemed, well, harmless. Is there something I don't know?
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
This is the flaw of a voting system that doesn't cap at a certain number. He/she started the negative thread about Jalin Marshall, and said some things that garnered some 20-30 downvotes a piece
I think he rubs people the wrong way sometimes. I only down voted one of his comments because it was attacking and still nonsense.
If I had a guess, it is because he reminds me of my 10 year old nephew who doesn't listen to the conversation being had, then hears one part and asks about it basically forcing someone to repeat most of the conversation. His/her (just realized I don't know the gender) questions I think irk some people. Awful grammar probably doesn't help either! This isn't twitter!
Outside of that one comment, I don't see a reason to beat him/her down. Just seems like bullying to me. BME buckeye I understand because he/she was attacking everyone on this site who didn't agree with him/her plus comparing Urban to Bielema is just wrong! Eagle eye never went there though.
But even this got a down vote (unedited for spelling errors):
I just found it amusing. From the grammar, I am thinking it might be Cardale Jones.
I am thinking there should be a limit on the number of downvotes a person can get per comment.
Don't be silly, Cardale has no time to learn computers, what with all the playing time he earns.
@Tenn That's what a lot of sites do, mgoblog being one. Interestingly, they seem to all be on board for returning to the system that we're using here.
@TENN & BUCK I.8 - Agreed, perhaps set a cap on the maximum number of helmet stickers that can be gained/lost (lost is the most important here) on a single comment, while the voting ticker continues to show the total amount of aggregate votes?
I think it would be nice to see who gave the votes. Transparency can be fun!
I dont even know how to downvote or what a helmet sticker is or if they are related at all
@URBANCULTURE - If you click on "My account" in the upper right corner, you will see (below your profile pic) your number of helmet stickers.
You accumulate stickers by commenting on posts, creating forum topics, and also when people "up" vote your comments.
You lose stickers when people "down" vote your comments.
Once you hit 50 (and stay above it) you will see the voting controls on each post.
How does the weather in Janauary compare to the weather in Smarch?
He got a lot of downvotes for claiming he had sources gving him a variety of extremely far fetched or downright not possible information (i.e. Jalin Marshall decommitting because he wants to play QB, Jalen Hurd already signed his LOI to play for Bama)
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
@Triv didnt he say something about Hurd playing linebacker too for Bama? Excellent sources
